100 years ago, titans suddenly appeared on Earth. Soon, human civilization veered on collapse due to the titans. Humans then built a giant wall to defend themselves. Within the giant walls, humans lived in peace, but, 100 years later, the giant wall is broken.

This movie is just horrible. I thought part 1 was bad but part 2 is even worse. Total waste of the time. I can't believe they turned such a good anime into one of the worst movie ever released. OMG. This movie will be horrible to watch even if you are attack on titan diehard fan. I give 0 out of 10 for the movie. It's just that bad.

AshLeHauntedNov 20 2015 5:58 am
Welll... Idc if the film doesn't follow through as exactly as the manga or anime. I had loved the anime when it had first come out, but, tbh, the film wouldn't be as thrilling if it had followed the same old plotline and shiet, when aot is defo a popular anime and basically everyone already knows of its storyline. Also, i lived the casting, since kanata hongi (armin) and satomi ishihara (hans PS this actress looks like my beautayful cousin lol) are two japanese actors i like. The girl who had played mikasa and sasha were also beautiful and i think the cool dude who had played eren had the right kind of kakkoii confidence. I just yeeehh it was a cool film. Time to watch the part 2 tomorrow... :33
PS OMG TAKAMINA WAS IN THE FILM HAHHA I LOVE AKB48 yep...

QwertyOct 27 2015 10:08 am
Why waste an awesome manga series making it to a boring live action??? I watched this and I'm totally disappointed. They should stop making manga live action movies. Eren doesn't have that awesome confidence like in the manga and the anime, plus his actor does not suit as well. Whatever this just was a waste of my time.

Shutup&smileSep 13 2015 5:46 am
I didn't hate nor love the movie(maybe because I'm not hardcore of a fan of AOT). You really have to watch the movie on its own merit. Anyways Hans is <3. The apple scene was beyond creepy and uncomfortable. The hinted love triangle <_< . Why wasn't Eren's mother in the movie???? The scene in the anime when Eren witness his mom being eaten was sad and that scene made me emotionally invested. In the movie I didn't feel emotional. To be honest I didn't know Mikasa and Eren were a couple/ a thing at the beginning(the actors didn't have chemistry) of the movie until Jean mention "girlfriend" to Eren several times. I kind of love and ship Armin & Sasha(potato girl) together. I love it when Sasha stomach growled and Armin gave her like three potatoes. Sasha says, "you always feed me." I am sorry but that was really cute to me and I think I'm the only one ships them lol. Now I cannot wait for part 2 to see if they have more scenes together. I cannot wait for season 2 AOT hurry up T_T. Thank goodness Levi(& Annie) weren't in the movie because he is my fave and I don't my love for him be tainted lol.

pkdogSep 05 2015 9:58 pm
levi and annie, these two coolest people in the manga are removed oh well..
and this creepy Shikishima guy came out of nowhere, who keeps touching mikasa just makes me and eren feel uncomfortable..
and mikasa is acting like a b*tch here trying to play hard to get with eren, when in the manga mikasa will die protecting eren..

미으라 하루마Sep 04 2015 9:48 pm
well i'm really disappionted about this film. but do you think that because it was a live action of a manga, all the details of it should be followed. i mean for the characters... fans should not expect that mikasa should only be the only asian to be casted. this was a JAPANESE movie guys!

but the main idea of this movie. Mikasa being the motivation of Eren, was really disappointing. i mean just for once let's not focus on the romantic element of things. and i hate that Captain Levi was not included in the Cast

FayeSep 02 2015 8:20 am
I realized I didn't feel alright watching this movie because the English subtitle wasn't good. There were some words left untranslated or with different meaning and didn't catch my needs. The translation chosen words were also boring, did it one-by-one sentences like a naration. I advice to the translators in every country's cinema to make their own translation based on Japanese language, not by the English. I hope the 2nd movie won't be like this anymore. I don't care about the change of the story, as long as I can enjoy it. And I think it is pretty good. Too bad the 1st part doesn't have many battles.

This movie looks good but fails to deliver what fans expect, a Live Action version of Attack on Titan.

Where is Annie? She is the best character. That is like removing the alcohol from beer.

WahyuAug 30 2015 10:14 pm
What a terrible movie, mikasa x eren fell, is gone...
The reason i watch this movie, just because of nanami sakuraba, My Potato Girl.....

DisturberAug 30 2015 9:14 am
I usually don't like to criticize a movie because it's not like the original but... Hell. Just be coherent.
All the eren x mikasa stuff disappeared (and it was recurent in the manga). All the actors are Asian, whiwh is kind of ridiculous when the action is set in Germany and Mikasa should be the ONLY japanese of the story. And one last thing : what's that Levi-not-Levi guy, uh ?

mikasaxerenAug 29 2015 12:09 pm
Attack on Titan live action is supeeer sh*t. Making a live action movie based from a highly popular anime/manga, and then hoping the fandom not to expect the story or character to be the same is stupid. And anyone who thinks the fans shouldn't judge the movie just because it differs from the anime/manga is even more of an idiot. Why? Because the reason why fans would watch it is exactly because what they like is the character, the plot, the feeling. Then they suddenly make a fake mikasa, and stupid apple scene with a fake levi-wannabe. The whole mikasaxeren relationship is also being messed up. Can't believe the author approve all of this!! I know I shouldn't have watched it. Going to regret it my whole life, I need to erase that movie from my mind now. Great.

ThatOtherAnimePersonAug 28 2015 2:45 am
I get the people saying 'don't compare to the anime/manga' but since they used the same name, same plot line (100 years safe behind the walls, colossal titan, main characters join the military), same basic main characters, basically the same seed to create the whole thing, it's kinda got the whole fandom expecting stuff, it can't really be avoided, y'know?

I mean damn, I get it's in another universe and set in Japan and all, but maybe a different name and a GIGANTIC warning would kinda help, don't you think?! Because a ton of fans felt let down. This almost compares to the Black Butler failure.

PatrickAug 22 2015 5:31 pm
What a terrible movie. Completly different story. Comon follow the anime and stop ruine good Story. Also the cast completly not suit to the character in anime. You shouldn't even show such a crap. Just like the Dragon Ball movie disaster.

JayAug 22 2015 6:16 am
the live-action movie is good enough to watch .. but in my opinion the scene where mikasa x Shikishima x eren in the apple romance x jealousy doesn't suited the movie at all. i think its better if they rid of it or edit it out . just my opinion but still i like the live-action. (edited from the first comment = shikishima not fukishima)

MHAug 21 2015 3:29 pm
Not a bad movie if you haven't watched the anime or read the manga. But since I did... well lets just say that you shouldn't expect too much from this film.

Oh and I hated the part with Mikasa. She's a good actress and I know that the film differs form the anime/manga. But they shouldn't have done the apple/romance scene thingy.

My opinion: If you didn't read manga or watch anime, it's will be a good movie and vice versa.

twistedlittlemindsAug 20 2015 9:30 am
I think the film should be judged by itself. People should not expect the film to have a similar take with that of the anime's or the manga's. (Just to inform, I'm an avid supporter of both) Actually, I have just watched the movie and in my own opinion, it's not that perfect but the plot line is solid. I can actually see where this is heading.
The lack of Levi is something a lot of fans are complaining about. I may like Levi Ackerman, however the most logical thing (perhaps) that the people in the prod did was to remove Levi. I thought of the same thing as other fans did at first... like, "Oh, there's a Hanji, but no Levi and Erwin? By the angel!". People, learn to watch and analyze objectively first before posting some mindless comments. (Sorry.) Try to judge the film on its own.
I dare say the movie has a beauty of its own. I'm basing this on an objective observation. I will be waiting eagerly for the part 2.

xAug 18 2015 7:53 pm
Hollywood? do you not remember dragon ball and let's throw Avatar the last airbender too. Leave it to the japanese to make animation based movies

capletAug 18 2015 7:49 pm
you weeaboos should stop whining how this movie is not the same as the manga/anime. I watched the anime and read the manga, and i watched this movie without expecting too much and not relating it to the manga because the director already said they differ.

Although i do hate the unnecessary scenes and the lack of Levi

CygieAug 18 2015 6:15 am
The movie attack on titan, for me it's good even if there is alot of changes in a original story. Because people have different thoughts,insights,perpectives and ideas. so please, give them respect for what have they done. :D

TrunkAug 17 2015 11:13 pm
Action is goood, but its story/plot/theme is poor in not revelant to the original. Heres a good tip, When the original is popular dont change it plz

hmmAug 17 2015 9:42 am
I prefer the anime. but this movie is not as bad as people say, it's good enough to watch. but i can't stand unecessary scenes which ruined the movie like hiura x eren or shikishima x mikasa's apple scene. It would be better if they get rid of it. Sorry for my bad english.

DaddyPandaAug 17 2015 7:20 am
The movie was dope! I Am a fan of this anime. I already watched the anime and read the manga. Even the plot was changed a little. I must say the movie is good on its own. People that are whinning about how bad and how the plot sucks should shut the fuck up and enjoy the movie. And if youre still mad, then go and produce your own movie. Pussies.

popoysiakoAug 17 2015 2:37 am
i dont hate this story but the movie for me sucks! maybe it's the lack of budget? i am manga and anime based, surely if anyone who was like me will criticize this movie, because of the lack of epicness the manga and anime have that this movie is lacking and the unnecessary romance thru the film leaving me facepalming, they all said that the live movie is not near the manga and anime story line i get it, i am relieved i did not watched this movie in the cinema if i did i would really be angry for the money i spend, but i still support the makers of this movie and still watch the part 2, for those who did not read the manga and watched the anime please go and look it maybe you would feel why they criticize this film from the original series

Yan ♡Aug 16 2015 7:06 pm
I'll be honest, I never read the manga version of Attack on Titan nor watched the anime version, but I enjoyed this movie (though there are scenes that I need to close my eyes), and if your basis is because this is far from what happened in Manga or Anime, then it's time you need to wake-up, fantasy is far from reality. I'm sure they loved to include what's in Anime but due to some circumstances, they can't.

animefanAug 16 2015 4:40 pm
Is it just me or is that, that they kinda switch petra and mikasa's position.
Sorry guys i'm levi/petra fan.

For the hardcore fans of the series, it might be a disappointment, but for some people who haven't watched the anime nor read the manga, they might find them decent enough. My friend who hasn't seen the anime nor read the manga was actually entertained. Same goes for my mom who only knows Eren.

If Hollywood will make this, I can only think of Guillermo del Toro directing the adaptation. I really don't want it to be butchered just like what Hollywood did to Dragon Ball Z, and Avatar.

animefanAug 16 2015 4:31 pm
goshhh......i got my hopes up and looked what they done...*sniff* the romance is just unnecessary. That man is not my levi, he would never do that(the apple when he was feeding her from behind and that romance scene in the future). Bring back my levi!!!! *sniff*

Krazyie RayAug 16 2015 9:05 am
After watching attack on titan live action, I was surpise on how they did it. the set the time frame of the event was set in a apocalyptic genre in which I didn't had a problem with it at first but it made some sense. Then whole plot story did miss a lot of concept from the anime in which I wasn't really disappointed, it was just a different concept on the approach in attack on titan. Now listen a lot of it was the same as anime just different approach that all it is. The titan was good. There was some questionable death by 2 of the 3 character in the movie. The Couple Lil and Fukushi now we that he die from getting eaten by titan, Now lil, this lil bitch decide to kill herself in a epic way, steal a truck with explosive in the back and ram that into a titan. I was laughing my butt off on that one. Hiana I felt so sorry for her because it was expected. Her and Eren were talking, lil romance happen, eren see a titan while hiana was about to make love to him, and the titan snatches hers and swallow her whole. I was like Eren, Eren , Eren , Eren, save the girl, Eren, Eren, save her, Eren You bastard.

But the rest was good thou. If your a hardcore fan of animation series you need to realize that some live adaption are not going to be the exact same. The concept were the same.

hotarumaruchiiAug 16 2015 5:59 am
This movie received mix reviews, when it first premiered there were a lot of good reviews but as the regular showings happened, the movie received a lot of bad reviews; it’s not about the actors or actresses who played the characters because of their acting; but it’s just that they changed a lot of things or they expect a lot & end up being disappointed because they didn't saw the things from the anime/manga that they want to see in the movie. Other fans recommended that if you will watch this movie adaptation; Watch it as if you didn’t saw the anime or read the manga, watch it like it’s a blank page,knowing only the concept of titans & survival of the humanity; Before they unveiled the trailer, they already stated that the movie is a lot different from the manga/anime. The mangaka himself also got involved with this production and the production team also refers to him about the changes that they made.

To all fans wondering (most complaining) why the characters are all Asians & there’s no Levi, one of the screenplay writers explained that they originally want to have a different fundamental world for the movie that’s why they have to put it in to Japan, that’s why mostly the characters are Japanese though the names still remained while the reason they excluded Levi, apparently in Japanese he was referred as ‘Rivai’ they thought that translating Levi’s name in to Japanese would not work in making the movie realistic since 'Rivai’ contains a character that is not used in traditional Japanese names. If you have problems with the characters being all Asians then maybe you should wait for the Hollywood version if ever they will adapt it.We don’t need to condemn the production; the actors/actresses for being Asian & the race, you should try to understand too that this is a Japanese production so there’s a huge probability that they will cast their own actors/actresses.

Today we finally saw this, and I thought I am going to be disappointed like everyone do. We read the manga, we watched the anime but friends we actually enjoyed the movie. Yes, there were some scenes & plots that were off & awkward, I guess I have a problem with the graphics & effects esp when they used the 3D maneuver gear. When fans complained to some scenes, I actually found it a bit off but not very shocking :)) The modeling director commented & rant a bit abt people comparing things a lot to Hollywood films & he said to an article "I’m sorry, but deciding what movies to see based on their budget, and comparing everything to Hollywood, that’s like how some people feel secure buying Okame natto [one of the most popular brands of natto in Japan] when they go to the supermarket. They have that absolutist ideology where if everyone says it’s good, they believe it’s good too."& Isayama, the mangaka considered criticisms & different opinions from the fans, hoping that others will still check out the movie.

If you’re a fan of the manga/anime you will definitely point out a lot of things esp when you expect a lot that they will adapt the whole story of the manga/anime in to the movie; Before watching the movie, I considered that fan recommendation that 'watch it as if you didn’t saw the anime or read the manga, watch it like it’s a blank page knowing only the titan concept' & it actually works because I enjoyed it because if I did not consider that, maybe I am one of those people who rage & complains too :))

For me, it's not a perfect movie; yes, there were scenes/plots that were off, the graphics & effects are not that glamorously great but this movie is still watchable. Sorry for the long post but come on let's stop the hateful comments about the race, why can we just accept that this is a Japanese production & they have their own adaptation of it, maybe if it's an international production, there will be considerations towards the race of the characters & the graphics,effects would be grand as your ideals. I am hoping that the part 2 of this movie would be great because I would definitely watch it :)

RukiAug 15 2015 10:38 am
The writer already stated that this movie is totally different from the manga and the setting will be in Japan. I already watch the whole episode of the anime and read couple volumes of its manga. This movie is good in its own way. People are whining because they expecting TOO MUCH and must very similar to the source. And Hollywood? seriously? They already butchered Godzilla and Dragon Ball.

doramAug 15 2015 2:43 am
Jeez, WTF is wrong with this movie?? Do they really have to include lil and fukushi kissing and eren touching hiana's boobs? Putting romance is just unnecessary. I don't say the live action version have to be exact as the anime, but this scene is just waaay off. I'm dissapointed.

LittleSadistAug 14 2015 10:43 pm
So, does it mean this is a bad movie to watch? >:/ Why there are so much negative thoughts about this movie? So if I watch it on the cinema and if I don't like it, I just wasting my money? :(

cezdiseaseAug 07 2015 9:54 pm
Ok, the only problem I have with all the Asian actors is Mikasa's background story, I don't if it's just the subtitles I read, but I believe I do remember them saying Mikasa's mom was the only Asian left and since she's dead, that would mean Mikasa herself was the only half-Asian left. In other words, Mikasa is the last Asian standing. Now, I'm not hating or anything like that, and if you were going to change the story, why so drasticallly. If humanity was pushed to the brink, the only survivors would be Asian? I think they should've thrown just a couple of different breeds in there. I understand it's a Japanese show and directed and shot in Japan. But just to diversify a little bit, I believe. Still excited to see it though, and once again, this isn't a race thing, I'm not fucking hating, just think a little diversity would've made a better movie.

AaronAug 07 2015 2:59 pm
This people are hypocrites when A live action movie not made by Japanese gets hated because of whitewashing and storyline, and yet a Japanese live action movie like Attack on Titan gets hated because of the characters and the actors.

What live action movie would you see, people love the Rurouni Kenshin because they had japanese actors and a japanese crew. And yet you hate this. >:(

SO MUCH DOUBLE STANDARDS! Hypocrites...

Chill_StatusAug 01 2015 12:43 pm
Levi's character is not in the movie, although his personality is depicted a bit in Shikishima. Not to spoil too much the movie does not follow the manga/anime, and is a bit different. It is still entertaining with the action you get from the anime. So if you do watch it I suggest you watch it open minded, and don't assume it's gonna follow the original storyline.

maniWJul 29 2015 1:06 pm
@Anime girl82 I agree with every single word you have said. Seriously people, stop being so prejudiced. I have a feeling its gonna be good.

xKateJul 29 2015 11:35 am
The movie will be without Levi,Erwin,Annie and so on.. But there are 2 new characters which are like Levi and Erwin .. So yeah,I still being excited

Aria WellyJul 29 2015 4:35 am
Where is levi? And erwin? Any chance they show up in the movie? And some of the character hair is not black, but all this live action hair is black? But im still looking forward to this :D

PUPU TACHIBANAJul 28 2015 10:03 pm
The Titans' skin color should be reddish or somehow fleshy. They got pale skin tone in this movie. It could made it more convincing that it's really the Attack On Titans we know, Anyways, still look forward to this. :)

unotneedtoknoJul 28 2015 6:54 am
so many thing wrong......eren loks quite perfect!!!this mikasa isnt pretty enough,armin has blonde hair....jean doesnt look like jean,where is levi,Ymir,historia,armored titan and others????will this movie be even on the level of the anime or manga???

where is leeeeeeevi where is leeeviJul 25 2015 10:46 am
why is levi not in this movie i hate u so much you should kill youself where is armins blonde hair where is jeans horse face where dafuq is leeeeeevi leeeeevi why do u ship mikasa and eren it should be eren and leviiiii i haaaaaate u so much please dont make this movie i hate u

MizuMizuJul 25 2015 8:20 am
Armin's blonde hair is actually relevant. Even if this is from the manga (which is apparently black and white) we all can see that his hair is indeed blonde in the cover pages. So yeah, it is relevant.

xxmnsJul 21 2015 11:33 pm
Levi is replaced by a character named shikishima. Actually it lil bit disappointing, but lets just hope this movie gonna be great

Anime girl82Jul 18 2015 5:48 am
Had to throw this out there but, this story is from manga. Manga is not in colour so wether or not Armin has blonde hair is kind of irrelevant. Just because he has blonde hair in the anime that is one persons adaptation. I think everyone is losing sight of the fact that this film is Japanese in its nature so Japanese actors will be used. The story itself is Japanese and the Japanese people have the right to do whatever they want. I myself know that this film is going to be epic. I loved the manga then the anime, so bring on the film I cannot wait!

DFP1991Jul 15 2015 5:57 pm
I am disappointed that Levi and Erwin are not going to take part in this movie as well. Those two are my most favorite characters, if the director and producers want to catch a massive audience then they should have followed the manga/anime series.

leviJul 15 2015 3:14 am
Where is Levi? Are they gonna do the hall series or just some parts of them? I'm very curious and I'm very happy with the cast when it comes to Eren obviously is Haruma Muira!!!! And Armin Kanata hongo he did very good on gantz..... I'm glad the this is a Japanese prodiction.

anonymousJul 14 2015 12:54 am
isn't it mikasa should be the only one whose asian?
maybe this should be filmed with hot hollywood guys. and the editing is like just a big wall paper behind.!!!!???

anonymousJul 14 2015 12:48 am
isnt it mikasa should be the only one whose asian?
maybe this should be filmed with hot hollywood guys. and the editing is like just a big wall paper.!!!!???

Wtf is this so dissapointedJun 25 2015 8:31 pm
Wtf this woukd have been fkin awesome if hollywood or some american shiz made this. I only like mikasa she oretty and she should be like the only asian one. The whole plot seems like shiz wat the eff is with the kiss and no levi da sht?! Effects suck yeah da japa cant find fluent white japs but who gives a f dam dis dam dis dam dis gotta let my anger out god dam this is so bad so bad weapon and gear look bad everything look bad colossal titan look bad

FayeJun 24 2015 8:10 am
ikr y'all want Armin's role played by an european... but it's difficult to find european who fluent in japanese + good in acting.... it must be one package, i understand why they cast all japanese.

ChammieJun 22 2015 10:05 pm
The first time I heard that Shingeki No Kyojin will have its live-action movie, I got super duper super duper to the nth power EXCITED because I will get to see my Levi-sama human form :p .. Unfortunately, they replaced his character with a new one.. Although my heart is really broken after I learned about it, I will heal it and will watch the movie for sure. His memories will continue to live in my heart, and he will be on manga and on the actual animated story :)

arararararararagiJun 18 2015 6:16 pm
I wonder how they will adapt this. Looking at the weapons and the new characters, it seems like they changed a lot in the story. I guess they'll be following an original plot with the same premise as the manga and the anime. I'll still watch this to see how the story goes.

its a live action adaptation ADAPTATION.....so a little thing as dying their hair is so stupid and childish if your criteria of a good adaptation movie is simply by just dying their hair they you have a grade 6 logic.

@巨人 amazing things have been done in movies lately. There's no such thing as a "real Titan", but people expect the Titans in this movie to look convincing; rightfully so. I can only assume you don't watch very good movies if you think it's not possible to make these Titans look convincing within this movie.

I'm curious, how does dying your hair even a little bit equate to cosplayer? And why are people throwing "cosplayer" around like it's an insult.

As far as the movie is concerned, I just have one question, how weak are these Titans? Because so far I've seen a tank, an rpg, and a bow and arrow. Surely some, if not all, of these things aren't/can't be used on Titans? I'm very interested in seeing these Titans in action though! They may not look the same as in the manga or anime, but they still seem cool and terrifying if I put myself in the character's shoes.

EASTGUYJun 13 2015 7:06 pm
One more thing can you do your search on Hiroki Hasegawa cause that dude is one of the best japanese actors today. GET RID OF YOUR YAOI SHIT COMMENT PLS.

Again this is a movie adaptation and the mangaka is the one that choose the actors. Everytime I hear cosplayers comment I said this myself "ARE PEOPLE NOWADAY STUPID LIKE THIS?" Just ask yourself what will happen if they put wig on the actors huh??? that would look like a clown movie for godsake. Actually it is better if they would look japanese delinquent in some school drama but NO>>>> they would look a clown.

My eyes is bleeding anytime I saw cosplay shit and yaoi shit in the comments below....Please remember that JAPAN IS NOT JUST A ANIME COUNTY THEY HAVE RICH MOVIE CULTURE TOO they produce directors like kurosawa, ozu, takeshi miike, koreeda..DO KNOW WHO THEY ARE HUH?? also they have actors like asano, kikuchi, mifune, nakadai etc...and great young actors like sometani, yagira and nikaido. So japanese actors are definitely capable and nowhere a cosplayer can do an equal job(even train them for years).....and Whoever the clown that suggest the kurosagi("yamapi") should play the main lead is cluelest cause yamapi is the most wood actor in asia today.

LAST.....PLEASE REMOVE THAT KPOP SHT IN THE COMMENT BELOW....CAUSE KPOP IS THE REASON WHY FOREIGN SEE ASIAN MEN AS GAYS( i dont want to sound sexist but its true).

KokoJun 13 2015 4:05 pm
Oh you know I'm going to watch it!!! I barely got through the blood gore feels despair and depression watching the anime when it aired, but the story was too good I couldn't help myself.lol I literally have a thing for Isayama sensei because of how good a story he came up with. Braingasm worthy really.lol Watching the trailer for this I felt it again and just had that "hell yeah I'll watch you!!" in my head.lol I had wondered about the walls and the giants when I heard about the live action but from the look of things the effects are exceptional!! Can't wait

Kingken130Jun 09 2015 6:03 am
This film may look good, but it's very un accurate. Some characters have very different appearances like Armin. Some characters we don't now or missing characters. Finally, when do they use an arrow to kill a titan?

Roma di BalleJun 06 2015 9:51 pm
Actually, Annie is over there. She was there, but in Titan form... and her HAIR is BLACK WTF. Anyway, I'm totally watching this, heck I'd sell one of my Nancy Drew books for this! I just hope they don't pull a Percy Jackson and have the movie NOTHING like the Anime or Manga.

Armin AlertMay 28 2015 11:53 am
Soooo... no Levi, no Marco, no Ymir, no Christa, no Annie... I could go on for a while.
Or maybe they are here and they just gave them different names? Why would they do that exactly?? It's not like they can't pronounce them they have in the freaking anime.
I still want to see it but expected a little more than this....

巨人May 26 2015 3:18 pm
I'm honestly so excited about this movie! Considering the plot and how complex it is, so far it looks amazing.

I mean, what do you guys expect? Actual Titans being used and the picture being as clear and perfect as a drawn image? Of course it's not going to look real LOL.

Guys….seriously, this is a LIVE-ACTION MOVIE not the literal freaking movie, you can't expect everyone to look like they did in the Anime. There are ALWAYS going to be changes in a LIVE-ACTION movie. They don't grab random cosplayers and ask them to star in a freaking movie, NO! They grab actors and actresses and do their best to recreate the manga or anime. Also, Levi fans, Shikishima is replacing Levi, I DON'T KNOW WHY, I just know that Shikishima is going to be the Levi in the adapted film. So, please stop complaining that it doesn't look like the anime or manga, it's a live action movie, not a 3d animation of the show.

Oh BeansMay 23 2015 7:40 am
Dude, this is a live action. You expect the actors to wear wig? You expect their hairs to be as colorful as it is in the anime? When an anime is adapted into a live action film, changes has to be made. If you want the characters to look like some cosplayers, you don't need to see it happen on a high-budget blockbuster.

A.S.May 23 2015 2:18 am
Okay, what happened to Armin and Jean? Oh, and I don't know, every one maybe except for Eren?

Where the heck is Levi? Humanity's Strongest?

What happened to their appearances? The wigs?

In this case, cosplayers ARE better than them. Who is Shikishima? Bad enough people wrongly romanize Levi's name as Rivaille, now this?

gracieMay 21 2015 5:17 pm
UGH! no this should not exist! I mean eren, mikasa and HANGE look good, but seriously? what about the other main characters? levi, bertholt, reiner, historia, ymir, FREAKING ANNIE?!?!?! they are all HUGE parts in this show and they dont have the actual characters?!?! you cant just replace them with other people with different names, it'd be perfectly fine if you have a more Japanese looking actor to play the part but they dont need to change their names. unless they're using the japanese names thats fine but not some random name! just by seeing this page I can already tell that its going to fail, just like the Avatar last airbender, and the few others! the director should go watch the other horrible live action movies and realize that they were awful and so will shingeki no kyojin.

IchiMay 20 2015 7:58 am
Yeah Ken, Y the long @$$ comment? I get what U asking but ur only speculating. We all want 2 know what the new story line is, so just watch the movie!

KenMay 19 2015 11:40 pm
In the case, of Shingeki no Kyojin, if the movie is set on Earth and not some planet in an alternate universe, is Japan the only surviving country? Obviously the plot deviates from the original source material so the characters are all Japanese it seems. With the billions of Chinese speakers in the world, only Japanese survived? Was every other country destroyed by the Titans?
It would sort of makes sense though, since Japan is a major developed however "isolated" (no physical connections) island nation and while other mainland countries were battling the Titans for survival, Japan had sufficient time to erect the walls? This is just my guess for the back story. "Nations" like England and Hong Kong have physical connections to the mainland such as the Channel Tunnel, etc. so they are basically screwed. What about Australia and New Zealand? They're separated too aren't they.
What's the new back story? As so far out there the original plot is, they have done an incredible job in making it logical to the point that it's feels semi plausible. Is it live action going to be logical? I hope so...

booMay 14 2015 10:08 am
Please!!! enlighten me who is shikishima is he not Levi? and who are are the other added characters(if there is any) thank you in advance <3

channieMay 14 2015 5:40 am
No offense but the cast is not that handsome/pretty. In the anime they all looked pleasing to they eye especially Eren, Mikasa and Armin. Btw Armin is a GIRL and Hans' gender is unknown (AND IT'S HANGE) and the fact that most of the characters are not present like Levi, Erwin, Marco, Krista (Historia), Ymir, Samuel, Annie, Reiner, Bertolt, and Connie! AOT is like one of my favorite animes and once they announced that they were going to do a live-action one, I was soooooo excited, now I'm just disappointed -.- this is not what I expected... like the live-action Parasyte the Maxim, huhuhuhu it was so disappointing, sorry I'm an anime freak and perfectionist. (_-_) I hope when Eren turns into a titan, it's realistic because of not then... well, what's the point of a live-action then? I hope it turns out well.....

lenMay 12 2015 6:42 am
Well I dont know about that guys
I've heard loy of ur comments
But if thet add some german actor or whatever nationality they got
Then what will.be the language of the movie, then it means they're going to teach non japanese they're language or what.

I have against about this movie

I dont criticize .

I want to see the movie thats all :P

SavannahMay 11 2015 1:56 pm
See I think Haruma Miura should of been irie- kun in love in Tokyo but some will disagree but that's my opinion.

Kelly DrakeMay 10 2015 6:13 pm
Ahem *awkward coughing for attention* What about us Weaboos over here in America? Subs anyone? Also, like damn that casting is awful. It looks like it will be good, don`t get me wrong, but not like the Manga, or SNK. And if they`re all japanese, how will Mikasa`s signature "last oriental" play out? I know i sound like one of those overly obsessive ranting bitches on Tumblr (I kinda am, lol) but like seriously i get that its in japan but it dose`nt center around japanese characters. PS, they're not going to be incorparating the signature thins that the fandom has for the characters, at least not very well (Horse Face, 160 cm, Four Eyes, Crazy Eyebrows, Freckeled Jesus, ect.) Wow was that long. I dont know if anyone will actually read this but I've been wanting to say some of that stuff for a long time. I`m still super exited, as long as it does`nt give me cancer like the ATLA movie, am I right?
~K, bai <3

DiMay 06 2015 8:26 pm
Japanese made the manga soooo i dont care who is gonna be in the movie, i want to see it.....

KayMay 06 2015 12:33 pm
I would rather if the characters had actors that are the same nationality as they are. Such as, a German actor that could play Reiner. Mikasa is the only character that they explained was of Oriental origin. I know that they have limited choices and what I just asked for can be very difficult to achieve. I also don't understand why they decided to put in random characters.

Epic57May 06 2015 10:14 am
Can't wait for this movie to come out.I'm so excited! I know in anime they are not all asians like in this movie.People been debate about that and even the appearance/physical actors/actresses not really same as in the anime but I don't care as long they can bring the characters alive and give their heart into the emotions of the characters,it good enough.You cant find 100% perfect same as the original one and yeah I know if they can pull off to the nearest as possible it will be awesome but I understand it not that easy.Maybe some actor/actress will fit the role but cant act very well.If need to be choose between perfect looks to the nearest of the characters but terrible acting and okay/good looks at least to the characters and do an epic acting (I will choose this one).I don't want to score a movie base on the actor/actress perfect looks than their souls in acting or the efforts they give into this movie.I'm gonna give a try before judge.
On the other side,I wish Levi in it.Most people said that Hiroki/Shikishima is Levi but will see how.I don't wanna judge first before see him act if it true he is Levi.
If he is not and Levi still no one taking the role.Somehow I wish Kamenashi Kazuya can take Levi role if people care much about face and the height of Levi.Just a suggestion (suggestion I repeat..lol) since he been in acting career long time at least I guess xD

grossMay 05 2015 7:35 pm
i love how some people are complaining that the snk actors are all japanese and how you want them to be white but now do you realise how difficult it is being a poc and being an actor/actress and having your character white washed?? and in japan's defense, they're not a multicultural country. they're japanese??? if this were hollywood, it would be a different story.

FRAGbaitMay 05 2015 5:16 am
I think the main problem people have with all the actors being from japan well from my perspective is that the characters in SnK are all meant to be from different nationalities as they are the remnants of humanity that managed to come together from all over the world and survive the original onslaught of titans.

HikatsuyaMay 03 2015 1:18 pm
I´m really looking forward to see the live action movie because I love SnK but I don´t really can sympathy with the people that are complaining that the actors are japanese!
I´m from Germany and because of that I like SnK even more but even if they use japanese actors and not some German like actors I give a shit about this because I want to see If the actors are acting like their characters or not!
Thats the important part!
It´s not only the looks but also the character they are!
Thats what I am thinking!

GobletMay 03 2015 4:43 am
@buck_wade 300 is a movie about spartan fight against persian, yet the casts were almost all american.
Do people complained about it, NO.

buck wadeMay 03 2015 12:26 am
One arguement that's annoying me about the casting decision is, "it was made for a Japanese audience"...when Hollywood seems to say, "our movies are made for white people" people go nuts and crazy over it. Pretty hyporcritical arguement. This arguement seems to be, "well, the country is extremely xenophobic, so let them do what they want." If this series was litterally, 100% actually set in Germany...this would be 100% cultur misrepresentation. Also, even fans of the series in the country that this movie is being made are going, "wait what, huh?" And, "this makes no sense." sort of reactions.

Mang_KanorApr 26 2015 10:59 am
For those people who keeps on complaining about the ethnicity of the characters of the movie.
1) This movie wasn't made for you, it was made by Japanese for Japanese people. We'll be lucky to see it at least. SO STOP COMPLAINING!
2) If you don't want to see the movie, THEN DONT!

TribalApr 24 2015 9:48 pm
For all of you who complained that the cast isn't white, just remember, the Ghost in the shell live action will be featured Scarlett Johansson as Motoko Kusanagi..
F**kin hollywood.

keiApr 24 2015 7:47 am
ANG PANGIT NG CAST!
the hair colors!!! OMG ...sooooo wrong!
I'm only excited at the part where they are going to use their maneuver gears..(whatever it is LOL)

peekabooApr 22 2015 2:17 pm
wow!!!!! I cant wait to see it and I wonder how its going to be since in the manga there will be a lot of flying around and it was so intense and hopefully they can make the same action in the movie!!!

yodaApr 22 2015 12:11 pm
I have a feeling that this live action would be a badass like a previous anime. Look ak samurai x live action, its perfect and it has opened my mind that live action that adapted from anime/manga could be amazing as we expect. i cant wait to watch this

paradisekissApr 22 2015 12:09 pm
so disappointed when they released this without levi!
mikasa is so perfect though! kiko is so gorgeous!
and i think kanata fits more as eren
while lEVI
LEVI. i have a candidate tbh ;;
exo's do kyungsoo (d.o) fits this role just perfectly <3

shikishima, however, iS NOT LEVI
it's another chara in the snk universe but he's not levi
he's just some kind of 'replacement' for that role

come on, bring in kyungsoo for levi! :(

( )

AvryApr 22 2015 7:42 am
I don't really care if the cast is european, but seriously, hair dye!! Armin is blonde!! Just put a bit more effort into the characters. Otherwise is looks okay. my friend is a bit upset about the fact that Mikasa is supposed to be the only Oriental.

AlexanApr 21 2015 11:59 am
Dont really care much about the cast. That was kind of inevitable actually. Though what worries me is that the story doesn't seem to be very faithful to the original. That steam car thing, hange's rocket launcher. Those technologies shouldn't have been achieved. They make 3d maneuver gears' swords and horses obselete. And most importantly those concrete uneven lego walls... sigh. Original smooth, mysterious walls of manga/anime have a very important plot thingy to them.
I hope they won't stray too much away from the original.

M.Apr 19 2015 10:29 am
I get it why people are pissed off that they're not European, and it makes me a bit angry. The anime and the manga already revolves around all European (/-looking) characters... why not make twist things up and make the characters all Japanese (/-looking)? The main target audience are Japanese. Anyway, it shouldn't be so important that they look different or the setting is different... it's still these really gross looking weird humongous titans terrorizing these tiny little humans trying to survive with their skills. I really like the casting. They all look amazing and somewhat still take on the looks and even the characteristics of the characters in the anime/manga. The CGI or special effects or w/e you call it looks pretty okay and the cinematography looks great. As long as the story stays faithful to the theme of its source material and that it lives up to its legacy. and that the storytelling isn't half-assed. lol I'll support this movie. (ALSO, SOMEONE MAKE A PETITION OR SOMETHING SO WE CAN BE SURE THIS GETS RELEASED IN THE PHILIPPINES lmao)

QhuApr 19 2015 4:45 am
i think shikishima is levi. some news said the characther of he (shikishima) is 'a stronger man'. and we all know that levi is too.

FayeApr 19 2015 1:21 am
I can't believe Kiko Mizuhara is playing as Mikasa!!!! wow. I know her bcos GD. That's cool. I'm looking forward this movie!!! Attack on titan is the only one anime that give me much interest.

Levi-esApr 12 2015 3:33 pm
As someone who knows the horror of watching a bad movie version based off a cartoon/manga/comic book/anime. I think the cg for the the titan and the 3D maneuver gear looks fine and intense from what little we see of it. I like that they tried to solve the whole "Mikasa is the only Asian left" thing by doing the opposite. And based off the pictures and the little bit in the trailer, Satomi Ishihara looks like a great actress to play Hange. As for Mikasa,(just basing this off her picture) they could have made it a little more obvious that she's half European(?); maybe dye her hair closer to blond. Because blonde seems to be the most obvious indicator, especially among the cast. Which might make it a tad confusing if any of the other characters had dyed hair. And hair can be dyed without them looking like cos-players. These are natural hair colors we're talking about; maybe not for Asians, but if done right(as many people are capable of doing) it looks fine. And I don't mean to sound racist, but as someone who has never seen any of these people before. Unless they actually say her name every time, I might have a difficult time telling her from the other ladies; most likely when they're in the midst of fighting. As for the rest of the cast, I guess I understand the name changes. But some of there looks are a bit far from what I expected for some of the characters, more specifically the guys. I didn't expect them to look like super models or anything, just a bit closer to their character. I'm also curious who the older guys are in terms of the SnK/AoT universe. But their acting is what's most important, so we'll see what we see. I'm disappointed that there appears to be no Levi, but hopefully Shikishima won't be too far from his character. I look forward to eventually seeing the fight scenes!

I just wanted to mention these last bits, Ayame Misaki reminds me a lot of Chiaki Kuriyama; who is one of my favorite Asian actresses.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American creation. So the film is not as much of a "Western Adaption" like other movies in that category, regardless it was a let down in terms of staying true to the story. :/ Some of the bending seemed lifeless.

formordApr 10 2015 1:16 pm
Can't wait to watch this one. Just enjoy the movie and live the expectation. Glad to see my favourite character armin played by my favourite actor, decent choice.

LauraApr 05 2015 10:05 am
I don't see why people are freaking out about the fact that it's an asian cast. The whole anime show wasn't revolving around the fact that they were European, only Mikasa's ethnicity was a thing in the whole show. And guess what? They fixed it here by getting an American/Japanese actor to play as Mikasa.
And I am sad that there is nothing known about Levi being in the movie or not, since he is my faovurite character, but not because I'm not some crazy ass shipper who wants to see him bang Eren. *shiver* Levi simply has this charm around him that makes the show better. But if this Shikishima guy is like Levi, being a cool-headed genius, I ain't complainin'.

PandaMar 29 2015 5:25 pm
oh shut up about fangirls otps, Levi x eren, who gives a dam*. is that even a valid point?, nonsense.

Catherine YunikaMar 29 2015 5:24 am
I think some people who doesn't watch drama or japanese movie or live action won't understand... sometimes, the live action become better (and become more 'real'?) when it doesnt follow the plot from anime.,..
I cant wait to watch this! >_<

Karmela KarmaMar 29 2015 12:48 am
WTF, alerie? come on, what gigantic changes are you sayin'. This movie is just a "vice versa" of the races, because it was filmed in Asia. All characters are asians and the only one "HALF-CAUCASIAN" alive is Mikasa. Yes, the actress is haft-white. It's not a big problem. If you don't like it then just don't complain, forget it and don't look into it. Just don't watch.

shizukuMar 27 2015 8:58 am
I really hate how high people's expectations are. I mean where in the world will you find an actor who has an eastern ethnicity, can act really well and speak japanese at the same time. Guys, be realistic. I'm actually glad that they made a huge effort to make a live action adaptation.

alerieMar 26 2015 7:26 pm
no. this is unacceptable. I cannot live with this. anime? fine. cosplay? fine. game? fine. but movie? no. no one can top off the story like this. it's too fictional, and not even evident because armin had blonde hair but now he has black. levi isn't present and I don't know why he was supposed to be "humanity's strongest" and also it will ruin fangirl's otp for levi x eren, because there is no levi. you can make a movie, I wish though they could at least match it like the anime instead of these gigantic changes.

SheilaMar 26 2015 6:38 am
I actually felt at ease that they were Japanese because so far, western adaptations of anime/animations had been shitty (I'm looking at you DBZ and The Last Air Bender) while the Japanese gives justice to their own creations (never forget Samurai X)

Yes! Finally! Someone who is being realistic here. I don't want the characters to look like some shitty cosplayer straight out of Comic-Con. And I'm glad they don't. So very glad.

az1Mar 21 2015 12:50 pm
People who are arguing that this movie is terrible cause the cast doesnt look like an anime character are just idiots or just clueless. The chldish stupid comments I saw below were like "how the come armin is not blonde?" hahhaha you f*cking idiots...you want this movie to be played by bunch of cosplayers....those f**king wooden expression by cosplayers will make this movie the sh***iest movie ever.

RiriRaRinMar 20 2015 8:22 am
Oh and, the underline is that I think it's important to make this movie look natural, believable of the situation, and look serious, not like a bunch of cosplayers on set like Basara (and yes I know that Basara's a dorama and yes, PW was good, but it was kinda comedic, so...) So as long as everything turned out good, I'm not going to b*tch on the appearance. Thank you.

RiriRaRinMar 20 2015 8:14 am
Um...live-actions characters are made (mostly, because of Phoenix Wright live-action) based on the character's CHARACTERISTICS, not VISUAL. It'll be totally mindblowing if they could maintain both the appearance and characteristics (exp: Rurouni Kenshin), but sometimes they just couldn't. The most important thing is that the actors and actresses can BRING THEIR CHARACTER ALIVE. Honestly, I don't want SnK to come out like Sengoku Basara's live-action... My opinion tho (as both anime and dorama+movie fan)

kpopkittyMar 18 2015 11:02 pm
Who the hell cares if Armin is supposed to be blonde? You dickheads are judging a live adaptation before it even airs based on someone's hair color? Do you even realize how dumb that is?

Jim TalariMar 18 2015 10:26 am
Very disappointed with casting, Mikasa is the only partial "Asian" in the whole series. Despite the fact that this likely could not be produced outside of Japan I will not be able to stomach such material departure from original material.

Karmela KarmaMar 16 2015 11:18 pm
Hmp! (Armin is supposed to be blond. All of them should be blond.) WELL, it's a Japanese Live Action & it's filmed in Japan. All CHARS are asian & the only one "HALF-WHITE" alive is Mikasa. Or should they change the names into Japanese? It doesn't matter. Go ahead. Keep complaining. Don't watch.
HOLLYWOOD could be worse: They change the story, characters, & designs with their modified versions; westernize everything then many people worldwide including non-anime fans will watch because it's the "worldwide MAINSTREAM".
MAYBE, about 90% of viewers know nothing about the ORIGINAL Japanese IDEAS and they see them as Hollywood's own franchises.

LeilaMar 10 2015 8:45 pm
KMS this cast sucks so much. Guess I'm not watching the live action. ALSO ARMIN IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLOND

arcMar 10 2015 8:15 am
the only thing that i worried about is how the cg and how the mechanics of the 3d maneuver gear will look.

criosphinxFeb 22 2015 5:58 am
Well said @gross and @kpopkitty. Completely agree with you guys 100%. Nobody wants to turn this into another dbz evolution. I for one love the casting. Specially ishihara satomi as hans. That girl is one talented actress. And miura haruma as eren is nice too. I just dont see hongo kanata as armin but i could be wrong ;)

kpopkittyFeb 21 2015 1:30 pm
Omg, OMG OMGGGGGG! Holy shit yes! I can't wait for this! And I totally agree with gross. I would rather watch a live adaptation that doesn't make them go and look like creepy cosplayers. If people want cheap and nasty, then they can wait until an American company makes a version and then butchers it to death. Me, I'm fricken glad this hasn't fallen into American hands. And some idiot said foreign names with Asian looks? Hello, douchebag. The anime is JAPANESE, and therefore this has JAPANESE ACTORS. What, were you expecting someone like that ugly little snot from Maze Runner? Be grateful you get a live adaptation, and this looks to be a decent one.

grossFeb 16 2015 1:42 am
most of you are really annoying
"why doesn't (certain actor in the film) look like this character???" this isn't a cosplay video jesus christ

AND PLEASE GET IT AROUND YOUR HEADS IT WAS ALREADY MENTIONED THAT THE LIVE ACTION FILM WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT STORY LINE FROM THE ORIGINAL SERIES.
IF YOU WANT TO DIRECT YOUR OWN SNK FILM GO DO IT IN YOUR CHEAP BACKYARD

live action films are worth anticipating and it's after you watch it that you can decide whether you liked it or not

snk fans are lucky to see 3dmg in action as well as the amazing colossal titan in the film that was revealed last year

this film also has amazing actors, so know this: the acting won't be a disappointment
too bad your levi fantasies couldn't come to life but be grateful that snk is active as f*ck
multiple ovas, 2 live action films, ongoing various mangas...

CatFeb 12 2015 8:07 pm
I have faith that this movie will be good. Japan knows what they're doing. I just hope that it's released in America.

sarahFeb 11 2015 10:01 pm
The reason why they didn't put levi in there was because they couldn't find a guy who was levi's height, so they decided make a guy who was exactly like levi. And I'm guessing the characters that most of us don't know about are probably characters that are based on some of the characters in shingeki no kyojin(or just extra characters).

babaFeb 03 2015 5:34 am
Shingeki no Kyojin is the type of manga/anime that can be capably adapted into a movie by Westerners because the characters in the story are mostly Western.

David Zau Pan AungJan 31 2015 7:11 pm
Shikishima is the STRONGEST GUY they said on manga,SHUT THE **** UP! Levi is the STRONGEST GUY,Hiroki Hasegawa should be playing Levi or replace Hiroki Hasegawa and put look alike Levi or actor that can play Levi really well!I am definitely not happy with this casts,not because they are japanese,I love Japanese actors,especially pretty HAPPY with Haruma Miura as EREN,but if LEVI is not in this,I will not watch the movie,or if Shikishima is like the modern Levi,then I will watch it without a doubt.please DON'T LEAVE MY MAN,LEVI! I have been waiting for this movie all year and I hope with all my heart that it will be AMAZING like attack on titan season 1,can't wait until season 2 also,I am liking the casts and everything but not just me but most of the AoT fans wants to see Levi so please don't leave Levi out of this,I like that this will take in some type of modern time and everything but Levi is LOVE,Levi is LIFE!

BriBriJan 23 2015 6:09 pm
I like Mizuhara Kiko and Miura Haruma. I saw a few dramas with Miura so I know he is a good actor and hopefully will portray Eren well, also I know Mizuhara Kiko because of GD (kpop fan hehe ). I'm guessing Shikishima is Levi, don't know why they took out or changed the name of like the best character in the story lol. I hope the effects, the plot, and the acting lives up to how epic the manga and anime are :D Look forward to the movie! The actor for Armin I feel should have at least dyed his hair blonde or wore a blonde wig...

ハナJan 15 2015 12:09 pm
In my opinion, I think all of them are fit for their role. In response to wawa's comment, Eren has an intense and strong gaze and I think haruma is flexible and he can do his part very well. He has played a lot of different characters and i believe he can pull this one off. This is a japanese live adaption after all so the actors dont have to look exactly like their characters in the manga/anime because at the end of the day, producers/directors dont base their standards just because you look like the character but it's how you play and act the character itself. Of course, these actors were chosen because the people behind this movie believe that they are all deserving for the role.

Oh and one more thing, I also just want to correct wawa's comment below that they should cast the guy from Kurosagi who looks much more young and innocent hahahahaha obviously you havent seen his other dramas. Yamapi cant play the role of Eren hahahahaha

icarus_cyenJan 08 2015 10:53 pm
Gee. Why do people always compare the manga and the anime. If you don't like the characters chosen, then you better not watch it, since there are people who do not know or read the manga. I always kept silent about these kinds of comparisons, but it's getting on my nerves right now. How can you possibly enjoy something if you always point out the resemblances. Anyways, nice to know Haruma's new movie this 2015. More movies/dramas. ^.^ PeaceOut!

wawaDec 27 2014 9:52 am
Japan has a multitude of actors who have the looks to fit in the role. What made them choose these actors? Only a few appear to have any semblance to what the manga and anime have.

Haruma can't be Erin. He does not have the innocent looking eyes. Haruma may serve the role of Erin who transformed into a Titan but the human Erin should have puppy eyes and should look younger. There were many actors from many youth shows (Water Polo Yankees etc) who could come close. If they choose somebody of Haruma's age, they could have just gone for that actor on Kurosagi or Kengo Kora. They look young and innocent but they can show a face that has convincing angst and confusion.

Kanata Hongo for Armin is also a mistake. He does not have that innocent look. What he has is that face of an angst-filled high schooler. They could have just chosen Teppei Kokei with eternally his boyish face.

I just wish they do justice on the titan animation. That could be the only saving grace of this live action adaptation.

ErikaDec 26 2014 8:22 am
Kanata Hongo is Armin?? NO :O what a waste.. He would have made perfect Levi. Am I the only one who sees that Hongo IS Levi !?..

nononoDec 12 2014 12:56 am
guys...just wait for the movie okay.....it is not necessary to follow the manga or anime completely..let the director n the crew do their job....dont post your stupid comment here.....

JarredDec 02 2014 4:07 pm
It was stated by the director that rather than choosing the cast based on looks he chose the cast based on how well they can play the character, so if you ask me a black haired Armin is fine as long as he can make believe that he is Armin, rather than having a blond Armin with a terrible portrayal of the character.

KDec 01 2014 12:05 am
I'm majorly disappointed with the casting and I feel like it's going to turn out like the other movies based off animes aka pretty bad. I am looking forward to watching it once its translated or something, but I don't feel like I'll like it. I don't like Levi or Erwin that much, but they are a key role so I don't know why they're not listed if they are going to be in it so I'm assuming they won't be. I'm more of a Titan Trio fan (aka Annie, Reiner, and Bertholdt plus Ymir now) and I'm really hoping they're just not on here because they don't play the biggest role for most of it. I'll be super disappointed if they don't show up because they're also a key point to the anime and manga as they're one of the reasons why any of this is happening. Also I'm a bit bummed about Sasha being in there and not Connie, they are pratically a duo. Oh well! I'm looking forward to it anyways and let's hope it turns out better than the other movies based on animes and mangas.

I'm so confused and pissed off. Where is Levi? They CAN NOT REPLACE HIM! I mean he plays a huge part in the anime and manga. Also please please someone tell me that the guy playing Armin is dying his hair and going blond?! This makes no sence at all. The anime and manga are big hits as is and now there changing the movie? If Levi isn't in it Im not seeing it at all. There is no point in changing things when there is nothing to change.

NNov 30 2014 12:27 am
So Im kinda disappointed with the turn-out and everything. An I personally think that Levi should be in the movie. he's an important character and why would they stray from the storyline? But still, this is a live action of one of the best animes ever and I'm still going to support it whatver happens. Ciao~

Okay, so i read the cast list and was surprised that Levi was not on it. Did they not find an actor suitable for Levi yet? If they just don't want him in the movie, i will be mad because he is a pretty big character in the storyline because he got Eren away from the custody of the Military Police. If he isn't going to be in the movie, then who's going to save Eren from them?

I've read the article about this, i have to say.. when i read the article, i was shocked that Armin didn't have blonde hair and Levi wasn't in the movie and why the does Hani have a RPG.. when i looked closely on the pictures, it was kinda like in a Modern age than in a old age? and they kinda said that the story is supposed to be original, they're not taking anything from the manga and anime series and Shikishima is know as the "The Strongest Man" basically he replaced levi.. and Sasha, i just hope she pulls of the fun and goofy sasha while still being epic.. cause thats the Sasha we love! funny and Goofy!

SnK Fan!!Nov 28 2014 2:03 pm
Where is Levi please don't tell me he's not going to be in it and why does Armin have brown hair this movie has already gotten of to a bad start i mean taking characters out putting new ones in changing the looks of other characters having a new plot what is going on just stuck to the normal characters you are going to have many angry SnK fans

Naoki993Nov 28 2014 7:50 am
Tetsuya Nakashima Sama would have been a great director for SNK (live-action) since i loved some of his early masterpiece work such as Kamikaze Girls,Memories of Matsuko and Kokuhaku (Confessions) which is one of my all-time favourite he directed.Also his recent,The World of Kanako was a great movie with great cast.His really good at creating beautiful choreography and his style of movies are one of the unique in Japanese cinema.Early this year,it came in the news,he left the director chair due to some creative differences.i i wish he didn't.i m not saying Shinji Higuchi Sama is a bad director for SNK.He has done a few good movies as well.But i have a few doubt since there maybe some changes in live-action SNK story and some characters,we are not familiar with,which are not there in the Manga and Anime series.i really hate the changes they do in live-action movies.Its better to stick in the real stories.If this live-action doesn't work out,then its better to continue reading the new manga chapters and watch the anime Season 2 which is releasing around in summer 2015 too.Still lets hope for this live-action to be good,not sure though thats my only doubt.

ThornNov 28 2014 12:21 am
Where's Levi? And who are some of those characters?
Is this gonna be a different story line? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

sneakingbearNov 28 2014 12:20 am
This is seriously pissing me off. They're adding in unknown and uneeded characters that I really hope don't replace the original characters. If these characters do replace the orginal, get ready for plenty of angry fans. Also, please, please do not make Armin a brunette. He's a blond and many fans want that to stay that way. You can't just change someones features.

and I'm actually pretty proud of Mikasa's casting because she's more or less the way I imagined her in real life (also the actress is half white too just like Mikasa so there's that...not sure if that was a deliberate choice on casting but whatever) and also maybe the story centers around Mikasa's ancestry seeing that other characters have Asian names that are outside the anime's norm?? Either way I think it would make a nice side story or whatever.

JulieNov 26 2014 5:14 pm
Oh my god. No, don't make Armin have brown hair. Please no! Put on a blonde wig or something!!!! All cast members should be similar to the characters. Oh my gosh no no. Change that. Dye his hair. Do SOMETHING! This is unacceptable.

Anyone sighting The last airbender as their live action example clearly has no idea how different a japanese live action adaptation is to an american one. For an example, watch 'Gantz' the anime then watch 'Gantz' the live action movies. That is a reasonable example to use, or Death note the live action movie or to be honest almost any JAPANESE made live action adaptation.

The last airbender was horrible because M Night Sham-etc. was behind it and an american company and producers were backing. Simply put as Anime/Manga are japanese art forms (sorta) they appreciate the source material more and see it less as a cartoon that needs to be actioned up or whatever and care more about staying true to the writing and the meaning of the work. A lot of the time they will literally just transfer the original to live action story intact even, so you may be disappointed to not see something new but you will surely be satisfied with the accuracy.

as a suggestion: choose another actors/actresses to role the characters..
i mean that the actors/actresses that has been showed up is way too far in their looks than anime version...not like the last airbender. their characters have been more accurate looks

TomeNov 24 2014 7:50 am
Its funny cos this manga/anime (Though Japanese) is based mainly in Germany and Europe which explains the majority of the names like Eren, Jager and Jean. So the LA Movie won't be keeping tradition is fine before anyone complains that 'Armin isn't blonde' or something like my friends have but i'm hella excited for thisss :3

CamrynNov 23 2014 9:10 pm
STOP NOW!!! PLEASE I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE BAD!!!! It's happened before in history! Avatar the Last Airbender is a PERFECT example. It's not going to go over well. I understand the actors don't look like the characters but at least try to make them seem close! Hair color is extremely important, eyes, and overall look. People will become upset and you will receive harsh criticism because of this. It will just end up being a complete waste of money unless it turns out better than the manga/anime.

JanNov 23 2014 12:19 pm
According to producer Yoshihiro Satou, "We weren't concerned about casting people on the basis of whether or not they looked like their character in the manga. After many discussions with Isayama-sensei, we cast people only on the ability to carry over the spirit of the character."

Kame should be Levi, that dude can act and perform action scenes! They should do a Levi special movie or something to make fans happy

jerjertitanNov 22 2014 7:54 pm
tsk.. a big disaster.. you bet.. tsk.. i hope the outcome of the full movie will change everything.. HOPE this wont end up as like the LAST AIRBENDER and DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION. those movies are crap..

MairuNov 22 2014 6:53 am
wrong choice of actors...(most of them) and what happened to the names? Q_Q and..what is with Mikasa? they chose an american actor to be Mikasa. whyyyyyy did they do this?? QAQ
justice!!!! They should just choose the voice actors of the original characters, it might be way better. =-=
where is Levi? TT_TT

Aot fanNov 22 2014 5:04 am
What's up with some of the names? I think hans is meant to be hanji and Fukushi Marco or something but who are the other guys?

BlackNov 21 2014 10:28 am
The thing I'm wondering is... I thought Mikasa was "the last Asian." Kinda weird having a bunch of German-named characters played by Asians. I got more than a little pissed off when I read that the live-action "Akira" movie would take place in New York with a bunch of white actors, but now it seems like some kind of wonky cultural exchange is going on with live-action anime. Attack on Titan taking place in Japan seems just as weird to me as a Akira taking place in America. Am I crazy or does anyone else find this kinda weird?

PınarNov 21 2014 4:46 am
What happened to Armin? I mean they can at least dye their hair right? All blonds are not blond anymore ;-; And is Hans Hanji? What's wrong with the names?? Please don't make another AtlA disaster with this!

Ira-chanNov 21 2014 4:03 am
Where's MY Levi?!!??? Hey!!! Where is he!!! Why cut him off, if he's one of the most favored character!!! And who the hell are those "unwanted" Characters? But nevertheless, I'm still expecting something great in this movie, cause it's still AonT. Just...., please! don't let us down the second time!

soyodedesuNov 20 2014 2:27 pm
Who the **** are most of these?! And where's Levi? And most important: Who the heck is Fukushi?! o.o >-> I don't like it.... I thought, it would be a better live action then the one from avatar ._. AND WHY HAS JEAN NOT THE RIGHT HAIR COLOR?! Same for Armin...

AttackOnAwesomeNov 20 2014 1:18 pm
I'd wager Souda is the mentor, Kubal is the big good, Sannagi, Fukushi and Hiana are titans and Shikishima is the ace. Lil could be a love intrest for Eren or Armin.

deNov 20 2014 10:51 am
a bit dissappointed that levi's role doesn't include in this LA while he is one of the most favorite chara ._.

WtkaceNov 20 2014 9:00 am
As a true SNK fans, to me this cast members sucks!! You can choose not to care about their appearance, but taking Levi as well as people like Edwin, Connie and other important figure in anime away from the Movie is terrible!!! It would definitely worst than anime for sure, as I put my life on bet!!!!

BatmanNov 20 2014 6:27 am
Why is Armin not blonde?! Where is Levi?! Where is marco?! Who are all these actors?! And why the f*ck couldnt they cast actors who actually looked a little like the characters?!

SabrinaJul 29 2014 6:14 am
I won't ask much, I just hope they focus on action and dramatic moment in the movie that can make us cry just like the anime so please don't act unecessary scene. (Please don't act romance). Also, just like everyone else I hope our favorite characters in the anime has their character play by look alike actor/actress. (Please, if its too much then ignore my second request) Lastly, I hope the making of the movie will be finish in 2015.

YurikoJul 28 2014 12:45 pm
I want them to have a lot of people and Marco and Jean and Sasha and Hange and a bunch of people that were in the anime. Please!!! It will be AWSOME if they did that.
